Huckabee slams GOP on minority outreach

11/6/12 8:44 PM EST

You're beginning to hear a theme on Fox News tonight.

Minutes after host Bill O'Reilly said that "the white establishment is now the minority" and “it’s not a traditional America anymore," former Gov. Mike Huckabee appeared on the network and slammed his party for failing to reach out to people of color.

“I think Republicans have done a pathetic job of reaching out to people of color," Huckabee said. "That's something we’ve got to work on. It’s a group of people that frankly should be with us based on the real policy of conservatism.”

“But Republicans have acted as if they can’t get the vote, so they don’t try. And the result is, they don’t get the vote," he continued. “So that's not to me as much of a shock, and I absolutely reject the notion that white people are voting for Mitt Romney, black people are voting for Barack Obama. I think conservatives are voting for Mitt Romney and liberals are voting for Barack Obama. This country is still a divided country ideologically, more than it is racially.”
